About Me

"so, kid" they said, "what's all this music you keep talkin' about? what's with the guitars and all the noise, you think you're gonna hit the big time or something?" and the kid said "mister, all i got is a sack full of notes, the same colors everyone else uses, and these here lenses that i use to filter through 'em in a way that's pleasin' to me. so i guess the question falls back to you mister. i don't know about the big time, but since you were curious enough to ask, seems to me i'm on the right path."
